Thanksgiving Thank You CircleThis circle would probably be of no importance to anyone but me but I appreciate everyone in it. These are the people that have shared me in a circle and more importantly many of them engage with me regularly. To them and to all of you who continue to put up with me. Thanks and hope this holiday brings lots of love and happiness.﻿

Thank YouThis is just a thank you to all the people who have ever shared me in a circle since my beginnings on G+I share this not to tell you to reshare, or to even follow them (but you will find many gems), just merely my way of showing a little appreciation for the attention they have given me! So thanks!!﻿

Thank You for Sharing Me with the WorldEvery so often I like to share the circle of Plussers who shared me in one of their circles. Just my way of saying thanks and glad you are out there.Also had to test the new circle share feature since you can't click on the circle to open it up anymore. Just click the "Add People" button and you can see all the people in the circle and pick and choose if you want to add some to a new/existing circle.﻿

I am trying to do some "circle management" today. If you are a painter, work with a pigment, and if you have added me but I have left you out of this circle, please let me know.I also have an "Artist" circle for non pigment artists (charcoal, pen/ink, sculpture or 3D art, etc). I will share that soon. Again, if you have circled me and I have not added you, please let me know on that posting.﻿

Painters under spotlightAll of them fill my stream almost daily with artworks, all of them share their work publicly, which demands courage to be confronted to critique...and we all know how it can be hard. They're passionate and I have an infinite respect for people who create. They all have different styles but all of them express feelings, ideas...and put them on canvas for you to have a read. Enjoy and be respectful!If by mistake, you're not in that circle and feel you belong to it, say the word and I will make my best to include you for the next circle share.﻿

Been a while since I shared out my 'fellow artists' circle. If you're looking for a little inspiration, or maybe just a bit more color/creativity in your life, you could do FAR worse than to circle these #artists and #illustrators.Hope you have a creative day!﻿

Got Art? - Part 6: Artists - J (by first name)Part 1: Artists - A: http://bit.ly/NDM6ifPart 2: Artists - B: http://bit.ly/PlfKbXPart 3: Artists - C: http://bit.ly/NoWtDTPart 4: Artists - D - E: http://bit.ly/N2xXNlPart 5: Artists - F - I: http://bit.ly/Ss6FMWThe text below is copied from the original circle share part 1, because, no, people aren't going to click to read it, and haters will hate, so I must reiterate. Sorry! :)At nearly 1000, my art circle is bursting at the seams. It's too big to share on it's own anymore, so I thought I'd break it down into several smaller circles, to share over a period of days.These people fill my streams with visual imagery, sometimes beautiful, experimental, evocative... each one has a unique perspective and practice. Most of these people are painters, drawers, illustrators, sculptors, etc. (I generally keep my photogs in a separate circle, with a few exceptions, for good measure. So yes, this circle is a different beast.)The desire to connect with other artists is what brought me to G+, and it is a huge part of why I am still here.****************************************************************************A note about this circle, and my sharing it.Every time I share a circle, I get a backlash of anger from people that are not in it. Honestly, it is to the point that I rarely share circles.Please know that this circle is not all of the artists that you should be following here on Google+, it is simply the artists that I follow. I have chosen them for personal reasons, and enjoy following each of them. I am sharing them because I believe that you may also enjoy following them.This circle reflects my choices, of whom to follow, please be respectful of that. If you are an artist, and not in my circles, please feel free to say hi and let me know in the comments, so that I can mosey on over to your profile and see your work! #art #creativity #sharedcircles

My Top 100Just sharing the top 100 people with whom I interact (or who interact with me; not sure which way it goes). I left out pages, and oops - accidentally deleted some pages from my permanent mega circle. Did I lose you?And should you be here? ;)﻿

The Greatest Circle on Google PlusWhy? Because this is my circle of people who have shared ME in a circle. Why does that matter to you? Because this is a group of people ranging from 100 to over a million followers, all who obviously have shared a circle or two. So if you aren't following them, they probably don't know you are out there and will never include you if they ever share something in the future. Circle AND ENGAGE!!!!Hey why I am not in this circle? Well now whose fault is that...hahah﻿

Sharing one of my many artists circlesI haven't updated my "Painters Painting" circle in a verrrrry long time, but I'm sharing it now anyway. If you are a traditional media painter who posts mostly (or at least ~50%) about painting (your paintings, other's paintings, whatever), and IF you're not in this circle, please let me know in the comments, so I can add you.Also, feel free to share this circle, and to add these folks to your circles.

I'm in the mood to ponder art and artists, and thought I'd spread the love a bit by sharing my art circle with you. I know, it's a biggie, but each person in it is a gem. They fill my internet life with beauty and creativity, some for over a year now. If you're an artist, and see this post, please feel free to leave a comment so that I can hop on over to your profile and discover your work as well! #art

ACEO Artists CircleACEO = small work of art 3.5" by 2.5" in size that may be traded or sold.ACEO stands for Art Card Editions and Originals which are small works of art 3.5" by 2.5" in size (64mm by 89mm). This is the same size as traditional trading cards. Apart from this size restriction there are no rules for ACEO artworks. They can be produced in any media and technique and portray any subject.ACEO's are derived from ATCs or Artists Trading Cards which are the same size and are traded between artists and never sold. There are established ACEO marketplaces on web sites such as Ebay and Etsy.Due to their small size, ACEOs are ideal for beginning artists as they allow for experimentation in subject and media. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to get involved by creating ACEO's and posting them with the #anaceoaday hash tag, There is no commitment or pressure to post frequently and infrequent or even single posts are more than welcome.If you are interested, please add and re-shareNote: #anaceoaday is a hash tag created by +Jaime Perry that is used to share and promote ACEO art.

Trever McGhee created a #circle with suggested people to follow:+Trever McGhee originally created this post:You just never know who'll you'll discover until you circle them.There's someone for everyone to follow in this incredible circle of people & pages.In this group are people waiting to be followed, while others are looking to add variety to their circles.I included several photographers +Charles Lupica who asked for help in getting their names out to G+'rs because they have great work though less than 7500 followers.For me, it's all about helping one another find the right people to connect to, which may be different by next week ;-) That's the greatest thing about Google, you can add & delete as many circles as you want.

Visual Artists CircleOK, people... You have mail-bombed me with questions and requests about my Visual Artists' Circle and I have listened. Here is Revision II –– fresh and ready to be shared.If YOU want to be included in the VAC, let me know in the comments. I have one condition though (if you want to be included) –– the obvious ones such as as good artwork in your feed set aside –– and that is that you reshare this post in your feed to spread the word. No reshare, no inclusion. :)This circle is undergoing changes all the time –– some people will be lifted out, new ones will be added –– and if you want yourself removed from the circle, just drop me a line.Next reshare of the Visual Artists Circle will be end of next week.Now, enjoy all the great artists... :) #CircleShare﻿

Ego AlertCIRCLE SHAREMy notifications are guasto so I have been relying on Google+ search to find posts in which I have been +tagged, as well as checking +CircleCount for any circle shares. I try to stay on top of it because I believe it's the right thing to answer direct plustags and to thank people for their role in any upswings in followers.It turns out that according to Circle Count I have missed a few people who have shared me in circles over the past several months. As a result I have decided to follow a recent trend and show my gratitude for their belief in sharing me by sharing them with those of you who have me in your circles. (I missed that one guy who shared me in his biggest asshole circle, but only because I have forgotten his name). Thanks to each of you, you wonderful circle-mongers. As for the rest of you who have me in your circles, thanks to these folks I have all you folks staring at me. Go stare at them for a while. ;^) And thanks to all of you for sticking around. It's been great.. #sharedcircles +The Best Circles on Google+ +Public Circles +Shared Circles on G+

Most people know I don't share circles too often but this one is special. I checked on +CircleCount and these are all the people who at one point or another shared me in a circle. Don't know how I got lucky to be included but I appreciate and thank each of you. Notifying those in the circle so you can see my gratitude.

It has been some time since I started this circle and I now feel that it's complete enough to share the "full" version for the first time. ☼ Daily Fine Art Themes™ artists circle V 1.0 next version open for nominations !!Lately many circles have been shared by the photography community but artists have not been as active in "Sharing the G+ love." So +Daily Fine Art Themes in conjunction with the Fine Art Theme sponsors would like to share the love of art with you.Artists don't need to contribute to the Daily Fine Art Themes™ to be included but we hope that they will add the DFAT™ page and share their art with us. For more information about the Daily Fine Art Themes™ see the about section of the page.OK - let us know who should be in this circle of G+ artists for the next version ?Nominated names will be verified so artists suggested for the circle should be active on G+, their about page should discuss their art, and their stream should be oriented primarily towards art. Arbitrary rules:• If their stream has little or no original art, they are unlikely to be included• There is no set number of people that will be added before releasing another version• If there are animated gifs in their stream they won't be included, period.• Both 2D and 3D artists can be recommended for the circle.• It's easier to keep track of names if you put each name on a separate line• Let us know the genre of art and why you have nominated them.• Refrain from nominating yourself, but we'll probably look anyway. :-))OK, let's keep this circle moving along, "nominate" the artists that you think we should add, and most all let's share the G+ love.◊Collapse this post

AOK Painters Circle! Please feel free to add or share this circle made completely of painters! If you are also a painter or artist please leave your name in the comments and I will add you too!

I've made a circle of everyone who is participating in #anACEOaDay. Thank you +Kimberly Johnson +Andrew Keith and +Julie Hutchinson for joining me. Lets have fun and get some practice! I love looking at all of your work! Don't stress if you miss a day, this is for practice. I use the challenge to try new things and refine my skills. I hope you find it as addictive as I do! Don't be afraid to post the good the bad and the ugly. I find it helpful to show everything, and I have created better pieces by doing that. Please feel free to share this circle, hopefully we will get some more people to play. The very best artists have to practice, and it is so easy to fall into a slump. This is what brought me out of mine.

Now that my Art Motherlode circle has hit 500 people, it's time to share (and start a new one?). This circle includes all pigment artists, illustrators, sculptors, curators, art writers, gallery owners, and art pages that I have circled so far (at least in this circle; there may be some unintentional omissions). I have tried to include only those who post, though no guarantees.If I left you out and you think you belong in my next incarnation of this circle, please be sure to let me know in the comments. Enjoy! :D

────────────────────────────── Fine Art America circle update ─────────────────────────────── Here is the new, much smaller Fine Art America Circle. While the circle is small, I believe that the value of the circle is far greater because everyone here has asked to be here by adding the page to your circles. There is another important thing about this circle, most of the people in this circle circled us back. That means that if you circle them there is a good chance they will circle you as well. Of course I can't guarantee this but I think the past is a good indicator of the future.If you want to be in the next update of this circle add this circle to your circles. It will be verified that you have added other members as well. This is a share and share alike circle. Don't add this page unless you want to add the other people to your circles.This circle is established for mutual benefit in addition to adding this page, add the people in the circle as well. That way, we all benefit.Hope that makes sense.

Well I think it is safe to wrap up today's +Daily Fine Art Themes Thank you everyone who contributed an image today to #waterscapeArtWednesday And what a day it was. All the public posts have been shared in my stream below and goes back as far as my Orange Sea contribution. Plus here is a circle with these public contributors of their own lovely fine art pieces. A few artists shared to limited or to extended circles and that is fine too but they are not included here as a viewer may not be able to see your contribution if they were to come by. If for some reason I missed you, please let me know by commenting on this post. Also, if you have any feedback about what worked or didn't work for you that is always helpful as well. I hope you enjoyed our second #waterscapeArtWednesday and I look forward to seeing you again next week! We are having a bit of wind here so if I don't reply right away it just means the power went out... common fall and winter experience here on Mayne Island. All the best creating!﻿

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for being absent lately. I have been having some health issues, so I'm avoiding most social media until I feel better. Or at least until I know what is going on. I've been in a lot of pain, and I have been quite down. So rather than posting anything negative, I have just stayed away. Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self soon, and back to creating and posting art again. Please don't remove me from your circles, I'll be entertaining again I promise. I still get my notifications on my phone, and I check them. So I haven't been gone completely. Just more of a lurker than normal. You are all awesome, and thank you all who have recently added me. ﻿

Why art makes a great gift. People like art! However it is not something people will buy for themselves. Even though most people would love something interesting to adorn their wall, it is not a necessity. It feels like a luxury, that the average person can't afford. In the art world, it is not hard to find something great, that would easily fit into a gift budget. Art comes in all colors shapes and sizes. All styles and tastes! As long as you know the person you are buying for, you can find the perfect piece for them. Give them something they can't find in a store! Something they can enjoy for a lifetime. In turn, you will make a struggling artist very happy for the holidays! I would love for you to buy my art, but this message is from me, not for me. Just take a look online! See what's out there. You can get original art almost anywhere, for almost any price.... more »

Please help! This boys face has been driving me crazy! I know it's wrong, but I'm not sure how to make it right. The more I mess with it the worse it looks. This is a portrait in oil. The second shows the photo close up of just him next to the painting. #fineartcritiquepls﻿

To #anACEOaDay, I'm so glad to see people still participating in this! I still haven't felt up to doing art everyday, but I like that my baby is still alive and well. Great job everyone! I hope that it has helped you as much as it helped me. Enjoy! And keep creating! ﻿

A few months ago, someone gave my husband a baby grand piano. We had to go get it, and move it ourselves. I watched a video about how to move it/ take it apart. The peddles were fine when I took them off, but when I put them back on, one of the screws won't stay in, like the hole is stripped or something.

My question is, do I just fix the stripped hole so the pedals can be screwed back in? Or could it be something else. It seems like the pedals would work just fine, if the screw would just stay in, but I worry about messing up the piano.﻿

Does anyone here know about pianos?

I'm giving art to my family for Christmas. My shop will be dwindling pretty fast as people pick which pieces they want. If you like something in my shop, you better get it now while it's still there! I'm deleting items as my family chooses. http://www.etsy.com/shop/artinspiredlife?ref=si_shopHopefully this will inspire me to create new pieces for the upcoming year. Use coupon code GOOGLEPLUS. ﻿

Why art makes a great gift. People like art! However it is not something people will buy for themselves. Even though most people would love something interesting to adorn their wall, it is not a necessity. It feels like a luxury, that the average person can't afford.

Dollar rental car nearly ruined my family vacation! We traveled across the country to visit family. We set aside $300 for spending money. Nowhere did it say they would hold funds on our card! We got into town got the rental car, and went out to eat after a long plane ride. When we went to pay, our card was declined! This happened around midnight. We sat at the Waffle House trying to figure out why we had no money, and no way to pay our bill. We called the after hours number for the bank, and they could only tell us that there was a hold on our account. So we called Dollar rental car, where we found out they put a $250 hold on our card!!!!! That was all of our money!!! We had two small children and we were 3000 miles away from home. We said we would return the car, and rent from another company. They said we could do that, but the money would be held indefinitely. So if we returned the car, we still would... more »

So if we returned the car, we still would have no money, and then no car on top of that!!! Please be aware that if you rent from Dollar rental, using a debit card, they will hold your money without your consent or knowledge. They will not tell you! You have to find out the hard way. If it weren't for family loaning us money, we would have been screwed! Buyer be ware! Do not rent from Dollar rent a car!!!﻿___

I made a creek for an old grey water system that was grandfathered in to our house. I plan on putting more plants around it. Hopefully the plants will just live on the grey water. So this is my attempt to take something that was ugly, and turn it into something nice. ﻿

Calling all geeks! Does anyone know of an iPhone app that lets you lock apps?

I let my 2 year old play with my phone sometimes. It's fine as long as he only plays his apps, but he likes to play "Draw Something" and it confuses the people I'm playing with. He also messes with my time clock, that I use to keep track of hours if I do work for people. He even emails those hours 0.o luckily only to me, but still.

He changes languages, and screws with all sorts of things! I don't mind him playing angry birds, or other games, but he needs to be locked out of some of my apps.

I've looked, and there are plenty of apps that lock people out of your "private pictures" lol! But none that will let you lock, say, a folder full of apps, or individual apps. Please help! If you know of one, please let me know. He even saves his "Draw Something"... more »

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for being absent lately. I have been having some health issues, so I'm avoiding most social media until I feel better. Or at least until I know what is going on. I've been in a lot of pain, and I have been quite down. So rather than posting anything negative, I have just stayed away. Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self soon, and back to creating and posting art again. Please don't remove me from your circles, I'll be entertaining again I promise. I still get my notifications on my phone, and I check them. So I haven't been gone completely. Just more of a lurker than normal. You are all awesome, and thank you all who have recently added me. ﻿

I need some suggestions for how to fix this four inch tear in one of my huge paintings. I called an art restorer; they said they would fix it for $400. Now I know they have expertise and deserve what they charge, but I just can't afford that. I haven't tried to fix it myself, for fear of ruining it. I would really like my painting to not be ripped. Have any of you ever hurt one of your paintings? Did you fix it? If so how? Should I just save up and have it fixed by the pro? What would you do? This is my favorite painting, and it's been ripped for nearly five years. ﻿

For #anACEOaDay this is a perfect explanation for my absence! This seems to be my every night lately. That does not change the fact that I have to be up at 6:30 in the morning until the next night. CAN'T SLEEP!!!!!!I guess I should be painting when I can't sleep, but I just lay in bed while the hours pass, until the alarm goes off. ﻿

Dear comic book nerds...Who's autograph is on top? We already know, Ben Edlund signed it, but who's the other one? My husband just bought this off eBay. The guy said he had it signed at comic con many years ago, and he couldn't remember. ﻿

To #anACEOaDay I'm thinking of doing something that may be interesting. I was thinking that it might be fun if one of us started an ACEO, then sent it to the next person who would add to it, and so on. Each person could add whatever they want, just not finish it, unless you are the last on the list. What do you think? ﻿

For #anACEOaDay I did three and I have been working on these for a couple of days. This is one of my husbands courses for the wine dinner he's cooking for. This is a play on bar food. The first part is a blue cheese stuffed buffalo wing square, with hot wing agar, celery sauce, and a micro green salad. In the middle is salsa tomato water, with chip foam, and micro cilantro in a shot glass. The third is popcorn shrimp; fried shrimp in a popcorn purée,with a popcorn garnish, a chive stick and an undecided green oil garnish surrounding it all. I usually draw out his food ideas to help him visualise and remember them. ﻿

Our aunt gave us a sleep number bed, and I'm ready to throw it out the window! One side won't hold air, and it won't fill back up. I have never woke up in so much pain in my life. The floor would be more comfortable. If you were considering one of these glorified air beds, consider something else. Worst bed ever!﻿

For #anACEOaDay I did another one since the hand is already out. I have been slacking lately do I decided to do two. I think the wooden model hand has really helped with my hand drawing skills. I wish it would bend more, but other than that it is very helpful. ﻿

Okay, so this is how I have it set up on the easel. I mentioned before that I want to change this painting. I am thinking of adding a tree that pulls the two paintings together. In the bottom painting the tree would look realistic with all the details and colors, and the top would be just a silhouette. Any thoughts? Or ideas? This painting is going to make me crazy! :)﻿
